aucanucktiger 1,916 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I remember my feeling during most of the 2010 second half was, how is Oregon still within striking distance on the scoreboard? Took our freaky not-down RB play & last second fieldgoal to win. smh. Of course 2013's unrepeatable natl title game turn of events trumped any 2010 head scratchers.

If AU and Oregon had played a week or two after the SECCG, the score would have been close to 42-38. The excessive time off gave both defenses ample time to scout the offenses. And gave the offenses time to cool off and make self-inflicting turnovers and mistakes. Darvin Adams dropping a routine Darvin Adams catch on 3rd down & 18 the 1st drive, which would have been huge inside the Oregon 35. Oregon QB Darron Thomas throwing it right to Demond Washington on their 2nd drive. Two plays later, Cam throws an un-Cam like INT in Oregon territory right to the CB, Cliff Harris. Oregon QB Darron Thomas throwing it right to Zac Etheridge deep inside AU territory. Cam threw out and away from a wide open Eric Smith on 4th & G at the 1. Regular season Cam makes that throw with his eyes closed. LaMichael James got stuffed for a safety two plays later. Kenjon Barner getting stuffed on 4th & G at the 1. Cam lost a fumble, which he rarely did, setting up Oregon’s game-tying TD. Cam couldn’t do what he did best… run. Just 2.9 yards per rush with a total of 64 yards on the ground. Oregon’s #1 run offense in the Nation couldn’t do what they did best… run. Just 2.3 yards per rush with a total of 75 yards on the ground. Defenses held their own, but turnovers & poorly-timed mistakes for both teams ruled the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a four team playoff that year, Oregon would have faced TCU and we would've faced Wisconsin or Stanford (Oklahoma may have had an argument based on SoS). **** I go back and forth on how much credit the OL deserves for that year. NFL experience is the #1 factor to most people (and it's hard to argue with that), but I don't think we win the NC without them.

Their experience was a big factor on why Cam signed with AU. Conversely, the loss of that O-Line was a big factor on why Russell Wilson didn’t sign with AU in 2011. AU/Cam vs Stanford/Andrew Luck would have been fun to watch. Glad we only had to beat Oregon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, if the TP didn't exist now, I don't think a bowl this year would even be a possibility. Edited June 13, 2023 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def needed the transfer portal after the butchering of the roster post-2010. I still consider the 2011 season a bloody miracle we won 8 games. The Utah St game told us that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, there's a remote possibility that without said butchering, Dyer doesn't go bad--he very likely knew how badly we needed him--which in turn prevents the outbreak of disciplinary issues we had. Both Tubs and Chizik deserve lots of credit for the NC and lots of blame for the collapse that followed. Edited June 13, 2023 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he would have stayed for 2013. It allowed Tre Mason a warm-up season for 2013. Mason was a FAR better RB than Dyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
